What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "43% proficient" for Kathy Binks Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

18.8% of students exceeded standard while 24.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.6 points above the Fontana Unified district average of 12.2%. Compared to the 24 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.3 points higher (vs 13.6% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 22.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 18.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
